The Small Business Administration (SBA) recently suspended nearly 7,000 Minnesota borrowers for suspected fraud in pandemic-era small business loans totaling nearly $400 million.“We worked through the holidays, from Thanksgiving up to New Year's on about 20,000 different files, found about 8,000 instances of fraudulent loans, and moved quickly to make sure that those borrowers … could never access the services of the SBA again,” said SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler.They'll now be taking the same model to investigate other states for COVID-era abuse of the Paycheck Protection Program and Economic Injury Disaster Loans.In this episode, I sat down with Loeffler to understand her work targeting fraud nationwide, bolstering domestic manufacturing, cutting regulations, and ending politically motivated debanking.Loeffler grew up on a family farm in Illinois, was the first in her family to graduate from college, and later became a successful businesswoman in finance and FinTech before becoming a U.S. senator and now head of the SBA.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

How To Build Trust FAST With Content This one hit different… Fonzi came in hot with a question that had my brain on fire: How fast can we build trust with content? At first, I thought I had the answer. But wait ‘til you hear where this convo went… We broke down something we see ALL the time: people chasing views... but losing trust. We asked stuff like: What's content really supposed to do? Why are some videos getting tons of views but zero results for their businesses? And can a stranger trust you just from ONE piece of content? You might think it's all about going viral... But there's something way more powerful happening under the surface. We're sharing behind-the-scenes stuff we've never talked about before, like how we helped a creator with 20 million downloads and some things we implemented with their team to move the needle forward… fast!

Allie tackles the explosive hell debate ignited by Kirk Cameron in which he wades into annihilationism, which is a belief that sinners in hell do not suffer eternal torment but will eventually be forever destroyed. She contrasts it with the traditional view of eternal conscious punishment, exploring Scripture's imagery of destruction, balancing God's characteristics of justice and mercy, and referring to key theologians, such as John MacArthur, John Stott, Edward Fudge, J.I. Packer, and many more. At the end of the day, sharing the gospel to all unbelievers is the most important because separation from God is horrific.

In this episode, we sit down with J. Michael Waller, a senior analyst for strategy at the Center for Security Policy and author of “Big Intel,” to understand the geopolitical implications of America's capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro.“For the first time in a very long time, the President of the United States has reasserted the Monroe Doctrine to keep foreign empires out of our hemisphere,” he says.By capturing Maduro, President Donald Trump sent a signal to all of America's adversaries, but first and foremost to communist China. “Trump has just pulled out a linchpin in an elaborate piece of machinery for the CCP's sprawling global empire,” he says.How did Venezuela devolve from a once prosperous country into an authoritarian hub for drug cartels and a key node of Chinese and Iranian influence? How does Maduro's capture affect Beijing's strategy and calculations when it comes to Taiwan? How will this impact Cuba and Iran? And what does the future hold for Venezuela and its people?Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Watch 'The Venezuela Operation' here: https://ept.ms/49I2LA3The White House is criticizing Gov. Tim Walz amid the Minnesota fraud scandal.

Similar forms of welfare fraud are now being found across the country, and President Donald Trump recently alleged that the situation in California might be even worse.We'll discuss these topics and others, in this episode of Crossroads.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and guests, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

“I'm seeing crime, chaos, and death on the streets of America. ... The homeless are being used. And Antifa, the far left activists, they want to keep the tent encampments on America's streets to show that capitalism isn't working,” said Jonathan Choe, a reporter for Turning Point USA's Frontlines and a senior journalism fellow at the Discovery Institute.At Turning Point USA's AmFest conference, I sat down with Choe to discuss his investigations into Antifa and the homelessness epidemic in America.While some nonprofits are really helping people, Choe said, he believes a sizable portion of the sector has become a multi-billion-dollar “cash cow” of grift and counterproductive aid.“For years now, the so-called experts of the medical community—instead of getting people into treatment and recovery—have been giving away free meth pipes, fentanyl foil,” he said.In 2025, he and several of his colleagues worked on a joint study by the Capital Research Center and the Discovery Institute that revealed a notable intersection between Antifa and the homelessness nonprofit space, he said.Antifa members have embedded in the homelessness nonprofit sector and many of them have day jobs in the space, he said.“A lot of [Antifa's] ideas to bring communism, Marxism, to destabilize America, to usher in a brand new communist revolution that's part of the homeless industrial complex now,” he said.In October 2025, Choe and other journalists, including Andy Ngo, participated in a White House roundtable to share their knowledge about Antifa with President Donald Trump.A month earlier, Trump had signed an executive order designating Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization. And in July 2025, he signed another order called “Ending Crime and Disorder on America's Streets” that takes a more aggressive treatment-first instead of housing-first approach to homelessness.Many states, including Washington and California, are now suing the Trump administration.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

FDR'S THIRD TERM AND THE RISE OF AMERICA FIRST Colleague H.W. Brands. H.W. Brands discusses the political landscape of 1940, where FDR maneuvers for an unprecedented third term, which Lindbergh views as a move toward dictatorship. The segment covers the rise of the America First Committee, with Lindbergh as its star speaker. Brands highlights Roosevelt's mastery of the press, using backgrounders to shape public opinion while privately viewing Lindbergh—and his ability to command an audience—as a significant political obstacle.

Former New York Times reporter and now independent journalist Alex Berenson is the author of “Tell Your Children: The Truth About Marijuana, Mental Illness, and Violence.”In this episode, we dive into the debate around cannabis and THC and President Donald Trump's recent executive order directing the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to reclassify marijuana from a Schedule I to a Schedule III drug.Berenson argues that it's a bad move. Schedule I substances are defined as having high potential for abuse and no accepted medical use. Schedule III substances, in contrast, have medical uses and are regarded as having only moderate to low potential for abuse.Rescheduling marijuana sends the wrong signal, Berenson says: “Do we want to be a society that, in general, encourages drug use?”He believes the use of drugs should be stigmatized, including the use of marijuana: “In the U.S. we can't stigmatize. And not to stigmatize in this case, as in so many cases, means we can't be honest.”In my interview with Berenson, he provides an overview of the dangers of marijuana use and why these have increased dramatically over the last half-century.“Fifty years ago, cannabis that was in a joint that you smoked at Woodstock ... that might have been 1 or 2 percent THC, so a few milligrams of cannabis in a joint. ... When I was growing up in the ‘80s or in the '90s, it might have been 5 percent THC. Now, if you go into a dispensary ... the bud tender will sell you a product that is 20 percent to 30 percent THC, if it's flower cannabis,” he said.And if it's not smoked but vaped, then “that might be 95 percent THC. This is not a plant at all. It's just a chemical to get you high,” Berenson said. “Now you can walk around with this little device and inhale massive amounts of THC, and that really is a change that has made the product a lot more dangerous.”There is also a well-established link, Berenson says, between high-potency, frequent marijuana use, and severe mental health impacts such as psychosis and schizophrenia.There's even research suggesting THC causes heart damage. “There is a link to myocardial infarction, heart attacks, and that link is pretty strong. You can find papers that show a 3x increase over a multi-year period,” he said.But what about its benefits as a pain reliever? Berenson said that he was surprised to discover that placebo-controlled studies showed only small and short-term pain relief effects.“What cannabis and THC are really good at is enhancing sensation ... but if you're in pain, in the long run, enhancing sensation actually is not a good thing for you. ... And so the idea that cannabis is a substitute or a way out of our opioid problem is just not true,” Berenson said.“We as a society have to ... be honest with ourselves about what we are doing and what we are encouraging kids to do,” he said.In our wide-ranging interview, we also discuss the overprescription crisis in America, the dangers of SSRIs, psychedelics, and stimulants such as Adderall that around 10 percent of teenage boys are taking in the United States, and his thoughts on vaccine policy in America.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Most travel advisors aren't “bad at marketing.”They're letting platforms decide whether their marketing is working.In this final Reset Episode, we're talking about what happens when you let algorithms, trends, and engagement metrics dictate your confidence, your content, and your strategy — and why that approach quietly steals momentum from your business.We'll talk about:Why likes, views, and comments are not real KPIsHow reacting to trends and algorithm chatter pulls you off-centerThe difference between content that's “good for Instagram” and content that's good for your businessWhy proactive marketing creates clarity, confidence, and compounding growthHow to identify the conversations and lanes you actually want to leadAnd I'll leave you with one clear action to reset how you approach content moving forward — without chasing trends, burning out, or second-guessing yourself.✨ This episode is part of the Reset Series, all tied to the Taylor Swift song This Is Me Trying — because showing up, recalibrating, and choosing clarity counts.Resources & LinksCreate your free Wanderlust Campus account: https://wanderlust-ceo.comFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kellihayessmith

At age 12, Chloe Cole began identifying as male and started socially transitioning. Soon after, she was put on puberty blockers. Testosterone injections followed at age 13, and she underwent a double mastectomy at 15.Shortly after the surgery, she realized that it had all been a terrible mistake: “I didn't believe that I was a boy ... until that idea was put in my head.”When she decided to detransition, the community that once eagerly encouraged her to transition into a boy treated her like she was “subhuman,” she says.“The moment that I detransitioned, I was human garbage to them,” she says.Now she has become one of the most vocal critics of what's been dubbed “gender-affirming care” for minors.Under the Trump administration, several measures have been put in place to end the medical transitioning of minors: In January, President Donald Trump issued the executive order “Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation.”Earlier this month, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services proposed a new rule that prohibits hospitals that perform “sex-rejecting” procedures on minors from participation in Medicare and Medicaid Programs. HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently spoke out against such procedures for minors and described them as medical malpractice.And days ago, the House of Representatives voted to pass a bill that could imprison health care providers for providing these procedures to minors.Cole, who is 21 years old today, supports such measures to put an end to medical transitioning of minors, but she's convinced that this is not enough: “This doesn't end with bans. We have to go all out and hold everybody who was involved accountable.”And that's what she's doing: Cole filed a high-profile lawsuit in California against her healthcare provider, Kaiser Permanente, as well as her surgeon, endocrinologist, and the psychologist who referred her to surgery, alleging medical negligence, lack of informed consent, and fraud in placing her on puberty blockers, testosterone, and performing a double mastectomy.Her legal team, among them Dhillon Law Group and the Center for American Liberty, has added punitive damages claims, presenting her case as a test of whether “gender-affirming” treatment for minors will be treated as malpractice in U.S. courts.“It's something that has to be illegalized on both the state and federal level, so that no child ever is going to be hurt ever again,” she said, adding, “We have to go after the manufacturers or the drugs of the medical devices that they are giving to children.”Since 2022, Chloe has testified before multiple state legislatures. She also testified in the 2023 U.S. House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “The Dangers and Due Process Violations of ‘Gender-Affirming Care' for Children.”“Testimonies of people like me, who come out of it, who speak to the truth, are so threatening to them, because it completely dismantles their ideology,” she said.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

The State Department is now advancing its policies against mass migration, which it deems an existential threat to Western civilization.

The goal, according to the State Department, is to save lives with less money.We'll discuss these topics, and others, in this episode of Crossroads.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and guests, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Benjamin Rush was one of early America's most fascinating figures. He was a signer of the Declaration of Independence, a leading Philadelphia physician, and a thinker who believed that a healthy body was the foundation of a healthy republic. In this episode, historian Sarah Naramore, author of Benjamin Rush, Civic Health and Human Illness in the Early American Republic, introduces us to Rush as both doctor and political philosopher. We'll explore: How Rush developed an “American system” of medicine His groundbreaking ideas on mental health and addiction And why he believed the human body modeled the ideal form of government. Rush may be what Sarah calls a “B-list Founding Father,” but his influence on early American science, politics, and public health was anything but minor.

PERPETUA AND THE RISE OF CHRISTIANITY Colleague Emma Southon. The final segment discusses Perpetua, a young nursing mother and Christian convert in Carthage. Defying the Roman mandate to sacrifice to the emperor, she views suffering as redemptive rather than a punishment. Unlike Romans who viewed suicide by poison as honorable, Perpetua and her slave Felicity choose martyrdom in the arena, having their throats cut to demonstrate their faith, signaling the rise of Christianity.

Have we reached the end of “woke”? Comedian and writer Andrew Doyle thinks yes. But he believes new forms of what he calls the “authoritarianism impulse” will follow.He's the author of “The End of Woke: How the Culture War Went Too Far and What to Expect from the Counter-Revolution.”Doyle is the creator of Titania McGrath, a fictional ultra-woke activist whose X account became hugely popular and currently has over 700K followers.Doyle has also published satirical books under Titania's name, including “My First Little Book of Intersectional Activism.”In our conversation, we dive into the many ways woke ideology has transformed Western societies and explore growing restrictions on hate speech in Europe. In the United Kingdom, dozens of people are arrested for speech-related offenses every day, Doyle says.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.
